Man I was never a Nintendo fan and only ever got the handhelds for Pokemon basically.
Playing Pokemoin on the new 3DS now and getting freaking frame drops when fighting Koffing because of their gas effects triggers me. Why is Nintendo hardware such a joke? Always a generation behind and can't handle the simpliest of effects or 2 freaking pokemon on the screen at the same time. wtf (it's probably a optimisation problem but that doesn't make it better)

Moon/Sun doesn't even have any 3D in it because the handheld can't handle it. (3D sucks anyway though and causes frame drops in Y/X AS/OR lol)

Wow, I'm surprised there would be frame drops in Pokemon. I could see something like Ultra Street Fighter II doing it but a turn based RPG doing it is just laughable.

Been playing some Tekken 7 online the past few days. It's going well, I dropped my first ranked match after going 4-0 to start out but I definitely want to play more ranked matches this week. I'm also pretty close to finishing up P5, I'm at the end of the sixth dungeon at the moment. Unfortunately I'm not able to pursue social links on some of these days where I'm free, but I've finally tried out the fishing as a result and I really like it.

You can play it with a controller or mouse and keyboard. I play with my ps4 controller, we have a cross hotbar
shown above so skills are tied to each button or a direction in combination with either a Right Trigger or Left Trigger as you can see the RT and LT in the image. You have X, Triangle, Square, Circle, + R2 or L2 depending on which hotbar you're trying to use. Likewise you have Up, Down, Left, Right + R2 or L2.

Decided to pick Katarina as my second for Tekken 7 and made it to 1st Dan with her this morning. She's definitely an easier character to learn but I find her range and counter hit potential to be really good. It's funny cause a lot of people mash 3 or 4 with her for five hits yet you could just hit 4 three times and it's safe (whereas the five hit one isn't). What's more is it can be cancelled into her Harrier stance after the third attack for added pressure.

I use my controller to play and my keyboard to type of course

Holy crap. I'd fry my brain if palying with a controller. I never could even get used to Alt + (insert button) hotkeys in WoW. And her you have RT AND LT stuff.

Tekken 7 still won't let me play online. Why are things so gaddamned bad for me? I get booted to the main menu before ever finding an opponent every single time. It's so severely upsetting that it's discouraged me from playing the game entirely.

I'm quickly losing my patience for this. Tried again just now, was able to get two full matches albeit with some noticeable lag in it. Then the following match had smooth playing to it only to get the error connection message to pop up.

At this rate I'm going to sell the game. If I have to go through this much effort just in the hopes of getting two to three matches in a hour, it's not worth my time...and I have a lot of damn free time.

Friend of mine suggested I change my NAT settings, so out of desperation I decide to do port forwarding for the first time in my life. Takes a while to set up naturally since I'm new to it, but eventually I successfully make the changes.

Restart both my PC and PS4, then boot up T7...first match kicks me in the middle of the 2nd round.

Yeah, I'm done with this bullshit. Namco somehow outdid themselves with this game in terms of lack of online quality. Soul Calibur 2 HD Online was pretty bad too but you at least got matches in.

October has the best weather of the year- early low 60s to upper 50s, then slowly drifts to mid 50s to upper 40s.

Plus foliage just kicks in which is just beautiful. Throw in Halloween for the kiddies and you have all the settings for an amazing month.

Guess I should have said I love Autunm in general, but October in particular is great because of the weather- somewhat brisk weather except without the high pollen count you get in April. Damn pollen...

Yeah that makes sense. I like the weather in the fall more than the other seasons too. My only gripe with fall was that it meant I had to go back to school but that's not relevant to me now.

I'm definitely having some of the same issues as other people with Tekken 7's online mode. Once I get to play a match it's fine but before that I always have like four or five opponents where the connection fails.

Are you going to watch EVO KG? I'm not able to catch it today but I'll definitely be watching Day 2 and 3. Fuudo was my pick to win it, he's one of the most consistent SFV players to not win a major tournament and I feel like that's building to him winning it this year.

Sounds good. I caught most of top 16 for SFV, it sucked when FChamp/Verloren got moved off stream due to technical difficulties but other than that I thought it was really good. It was pretty crazy to see Tokido/Haitani and Bonchan/MOV fight for top 8 spots, really tells you how fierce the competition is at EVO. The Cammy fan in me wants Kazunoko but I'd be pretty happy with just about anyone winning it at this point.

Is Omito to Guilty Gear what SonicFox is to NRS games? I don't know much about the GG scene but every time I hear about any GG tournament he either wins it or makes a deep run. Seems like more of the same this year lol.

I think doctors live in an alternate reality. I worked in a call center many years ago and got acid reflux from all the stress. My doctor's solution was prescription strength Zantac and "stay away from stress". I told him that's not possible at my current job.

Doctors will tell you what you need to do knowing that it isn't always something that's possible but they still have to tell you so anyway or they wouldn't be doing their jobs. They've got to cover their asses too ya know lol

Did you hear about Fate's attempts to play Legacy of the Duelist online recently? Apparently everybody rage quits now once you summon a good monster or once mirror force doesn't work for them. Weird thing is it wasn't like that when he tried to play last year.

I advised him that I take it as a badge of honor when someone rage quits on me in SFV. It's actually more satisfying than a victory to me. I'd be more bothered by it in Yugioh however since matches there typically go a lot longer than your average fighting game match.
